I can't hold a candle to Nobby.....(Though I think Ian would like me to... ;))

But to add to the festivities, I would like to bring you a little song.
"Nobby's (souped up) centurion," to the tune of "Nellie the Elephant", with apologies to those of you that are too young to remember the original.

Ahem.......

From the East, a heavy tracked vehicle came.
It looked just like a centurion,
and Nobby was to blame.
Starting off, our Nobby saw bright blue lights,
He flicked a switch on the dashboard, then,
and flashed off out of sight.

(Chorus)

Nobby's centurion started up,
and whizzed straight off, up the bypass,
On it went with a great, throaty roar,
Brrrrum, Brrrrum, Brrrum.
Nobby's centurion zoomed along,
The police left far in the distance.
The road for them now a hell of a mess.
"Stop that oik Bum !!"

Time to slow...Our Nobby's almost there.
When he was in his centurion,
Our Nobby didn't care.
One last shell, for Nobby to let loose.
Get it right, on this stormy night,
He'd cook old Santa's goose.

(Repeat chorus)

The turret was turning smoothly,
The shell fired away.
It cleared some rocks on the mountainside,
And hit poor Santa's sleigh.......(OR "Blew Santa clean away)

(Repeat chorus)

Happy Christmas, Nobby !.......And everyone else.!

Cheers - Phil.

I certainly remember the original, alas I while I can remember the tune to the chorus the melody for the verse escapes me.

Given where Nobby lives - no naked flame is to be put anywhere near him


The resulting explosion would be kittystrophic.

Glad you enjoyed it Nobby. :)
So....That fluff on the horses' polos I found in a pocket yesterday, wasn't fluff......But an hallucinogenic mould, then ?
And I certainly didn't take them out of that android from Star Trek NG. ;)
You're imagining I resemble the Borg Queen again, aren't you ? ;D

Being somewhat taken with the fact that Leon is Noel backwards I give you the following (to the tune of "The First Noel")

And so, Leon, to the forum did say
it's coming up Christmas so I'll be away.
Techno is busy with dogs, horses and sheep,
so quiet you lot don't let me hear a peep!

[Chorus]
Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon,
He is the Dark Lord of Pendraken!

The forum locked up? Nope the door is ajar,
which leads to a stampede to get to the bar.
They jostle and shove and then start a fight
which continues sporadically both day and night.

[Chorus]
Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon,
He is the Dark Lord of Pendraken!

So it came to pass that our grammar tzar,
the noble FierceKitty, he travelled afar.
With no-one to check every message we sent,
we still understood what everyone meant

[Chorus]
Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon,
He is the Dark Lord of Pendraken!

The Forge of Pendraken, that produces the best,
in Middlesbrough town, is briefly at rest.
And so the Dark Lord enjoys his days,
lounging round naked, the X-Box he plays.

[Chorus]
Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon,
He is the Dark Lord of Pendraken!

So then lets us praise those forumites three,
Orcs and Hertsblue and Mad Lemmey!
And so many others they add their presence
but they have between them not one ounce of sense!

[Chorus]
Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon,
He is the Dark Lord of Pendraken!

Then let us all without ado
Sing praises to the Pendraken crew,
That hath made so many of the figures we've bought.
Lets hope with those parcels that we're never caught!!

[Chorus]
Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon,
He is the Dark Lord of Pendraken!
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

I think this should be our battle hymn. The Pendraken Male and Techno Voiced Choir could record it and it could be played from the Pendraken stand at shows.
